I've just commited to vger CVS drivers for Sun SBUS SOC+ Fibre Channel card,
SOC driver is there already for a couple of years.
From the remote side, I currently support SparcSTORAGE Array as a particular
example of Point-to-Point topology and Arbitrated Loop topology of any kind.
Have a look into drivers/fc4/ and drivers/scsi/
BTW: Actually, there are two types of Fibre Channel drivers:
1) QLogicFC and similar, where it looks like a typical SCSI card to the OS,
and FC communication is driven by the card
2) SOC+,SOC,perhaps some Emulex, etc., where you have to talk Fibre Channel
protocol to it. drivers/fc4 was created for exactly this kind of devices.
Cheers,
Jakub
